Just keep running

Well! I’m home from race weekend. We were in St. George for a half marathon! This was my first race as a 40 year old. Oh….so old…I did pretty well. My time was 1:47. 17th in my age group. Looking back I always wish I ran harder. It was a pretty hilly course. I ran with my fastie friends who I’m sure could of ran faster than me but we decided to stick together. The time whizzed by. I felt like I pushed it and wasn’t too sore afterwards. The weather was fantastic!! Slightly chilly in the AM but it kept getting warmer as the day progressed. Afterwards, we showered up and went and had facials and pedicures. Then we shopped around a little and ate lunch at a yummy Thai restaurant. We rented the movie 42, hot tubbed, and lounged around watching the movie. I dozed mostly by the fire. Soooooo fun! The next morning we went for a long walk through the red rocks and then headed for home. Here are some pics!

I’m starting another crazy challenge with my competitive bestie (: We are so funny. I want to get ripped, lean, and drop a few pounds. We got talking and conspiring up a plan. Here it is: No grains. Simple enough huh? Of course, I’m not having any sugar either. We are going to see who can go the longest and then the one who wins, buys the other something from Lululemon. I know cutting out grains is a little extreme. I don’t care. We do have one small grain option we can have once a day. We can either have 1/2 c oatmeal, protein bar, or 2 protein balls. I’ll be eating eggs, protein shakes, soups, veggies, fruit, lean meats, and a little dairy. I’ll weigh daily and celebrate of course when I reach my 130.

I’m going to go make some soup, take the kids ice skating, finish up laundry, and sigh a little that I’m not at the PINK concert…SMILE and Work Hard!!!
